N\S14’s Hot Drinks Taste-Off!

Five downtown cafes. Five hot drinks. Who’s bragging rights?

Perhaps the most delicious piece of downtown Kitchener’s second annual Night\Shift festival of communal nocturnal adventure on Saturday, November 1st 2014, was the inaugural Hot Drinks Taste-Off. To help fuel festival explorers through 40+ indoor and outdoor performances, installations and activities, five fabulous downtown cafes agreed to flex their creative muscles by whipping up a special concoction.

Considering these tweets and anecdotal gushing offline by a random smattering of Night\Shift 2014 explorers, the two most greatly appreciated Hot Drink Taste-Off contenders were easily QSCC’s Candy Apple and MoT’s Green With Envy!

For those who missed the chance to sip and enjoy the taste-off: Hot cider is readily available at QSCC, but the caramel sauce isn’t always homemade and they don’t usually have whipped cream on hand. And MoT has brought Green With Envy back by popular demand – don’t miss the opportunity to spike your day with some hot-and-exotic tastiness!

Matcha Latte was a big hit during #nightshift14. We are offering it for the winter season starting today.

Many thanks to all the Hot Drinks Taste-Off passport holders and the five cafes that took part – and to all you Night\Shift explorers who found other great ways to keep downtown Kitchener warm on November 1st!
